Thu, 24 Oct 2013 06:30:07 +0000http://KnickerBlogger.Net/?p=12298#comment-447613A silver lining to tonight is that Melo is showing that he can affect the game outside of being a scorer. His shot was off tonight at 8 for 23, but he did have 9 rebounds and 7 assists.

Melo seems to struggle defending in space, and watching Bargnani rebound and play defense is like listening to nails scratching against a board while is screaming on a set of Bose QC headphones. Woodson needs to stop complicating his defense and make it a little more simple. He seems to be the D’Antoni of defense in that he believes more in the system than his players. Hopefully, we’ll get it together. The Knicks just seemed to be all “ehh, it’s the preseason and the Bucks” tonight. I think we’ll eat them in 7 days.

ruruland:
But I’m sure this is a much different situation, and that the same people who proclaimed the Knicks season over during every losing streak last season are right on this time.

Come on, man– you sound like the Knicks won the chip last season. The folks that proclaimed the season over were right. The Knicks lost to a team you thought they would beat. You were wrong, the critics were right. Own up to it.

I liked diogu’s game the more I saw it and he does play big, but I still think we need bodies and defense at the end of the bench more than another person to score.

The first team would be much more offense than defense and the second team the opposite. When both the Knicks and their opponents had their benches in, I don’t think the game would be pretty, but I don’t think the Knicks would fall behind either.

nicos: I think it’s possible that Murry is the odd guy out- he’s 4th on the depth chart at both the one and two (really 5th as a point because Shump would probably start over him if Felton, Beno, and Pablo were all injured.With Amar’e and Martin not having even played a game yet I can see the Knicks possibly signing both Aldrich and Diogu.The question then becomes do you take Murry or Tyler- Tyler’s two years younger and plays a harder position to fill.I like Murry but combo guards are pretty easy to find.

No need to keep Tyler, Aldrich and Diogu. 2 of the 3 along with Murry should be the way to go. Would prefer Aldrich and Diogu cause they are more of a sure thing to me than Tyler but I get keeping the younger player with more upside.

I though Aldrich was great in 14 minutes of burn.The team’s defense and rebounding made a quantum leap every time he subbed in for Bargs.Looks like a legit 3rd string center to me.I didn’t watch any Summer League so I have no idea what Jeremy Tyler is all about.Is he worth keeping at the exclusion of one of Diogu or Aldrich (assuming Murry gets the 3rd to last roster spot)?
